Texas open carry activists meet on Grassy Knoll, denouce president

Texas open carry activists meet on Grassy Knoll, denouce president

"SNIP........................

A group of open carry gun activists who protested Saturday at Dealey Plaza in Dallas filmed a bizarre, more-than-10-minute video of their demonstration and posted it to YouTube.

One activist appeared on camera to explain that the group, which the Dallas Observer identified as Come And Take It Dallas, gathers every third Saturday of the month to pass out Second Amendment literature. The same speaker then went on a rant against foreigners and refers to President Barack Obama as a "usurper foreigner" born in Kenya.


Dallas' Dealey Plaza is the site at which President John F. Kennedy was assassinated with a rifle shot from a nearby building.

So a group of activists carrying rifles regularly meet at the scene of an infamous presidential assassination via rifle and proclaim while fondling their rifles that the current president is not the nation's legitimate leader.

Couldn't have said it better myself! It's like meeting at Fords Theatre or meeting on Fordham Drive in Buffalo.

Fordham Drive - the spot where President McKinley was assassinated by Leon Czolgosz:


Before it was Fordham Drive, this was the spot of the Pan American Exposition's Hall of Music. On Sept 6, 1901, self-proclaimed Anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President William McKinley, who died 8 days later.

stupid.

I was in Dealey Plaza in May, visited the book depository and did the tour.

The idiots that use that as a backdrop for their asinine behavior have some serious mental issues. I can't say more than that.

Their claim of exercising their rights like this does very serious damage to their cause (I like that) .... but there appears to be some weird antagonistic and (yes) threatening currents in their little pageants.

It has been heartening to see some our very staunch "gun advocates" express disapproval and (sometimes) disgust at their displays.
